#1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz’s brilliantly thrilling novel of suspense.

In the midst of a raging blizzard, lightning struck on the night Laura Shane was born. And a mysterious blond-haired stranger showed up just in time to save her from dying.

Years later, in the wake of another storm, Laura will be saved again. For someone is watching over her. Is he the guardian angel he seems? The devil in disguise? Or the master of a haunting destiny beyond all time and space?

I just couldn't stop listening. it was funny and then sad, I laughed out loud and then was teary eyed, sometimes angry, a whole gamut of emotions. The story just finished and I'm left wishing there was a bit more. I believe I'm going to have to read it again, soon. Thanks Dean, what a gift.

I was surprised how much I liked this book. I liked the level of detail. I like how on one level there is a story but on another level the book is about how life works and how you can look at life this way. I must look at other Dean Koontz book now.

This is a great book

I haven't read a lot of Dean Koontz over the years and was pleasantly surprised at how much his writing has improved and matured. This is a great story - quite original and believable. I loved the characters... well all except for grown up Thelma. She could never have been a successful comedy act in the real world because she was painfully UNfunny. At the start I had to keep rewinding as I felt the narrator spoke quite quickly but I got used to it.
All in all, a great story and I would recommend it.

Worth listening to

I really struggled to finish this. The narration was really good but the story was quite average in my opinion. Some of the characters were believable but some were just unbearable. Overall I'd give this book 4 stars but that's being generous.

Struggled to finish

This was a highly enjoyable book. I like them long and detailed because it builds up a world that you can imagine being in which makes the twists and turns all that much more impactful.

It’s a beautiful story of love across time and another great book by Dean Koontz that I can tick off my bucket list
